ABSTRACT
Xanthohumol (XAN) is an isoprenyl flavonoid from Humulus lupulus L. known for beer brewing, and an osteoprotective agent due to its active improvement in bone loss of osteoporosis. This study was first time to investigate its effects on anti-gouty bone injury in rats of gouty arthritis (GA) induced by monosodium urate (MSU). Results showed that XAN could significantly exert anti-inflammatory activity by alleviating swelling degree of joints, reducing serum level of inflammatory factors, improving inflammatory injury and degrading the Markin's score in lesion joint. Meanwhile, XAN could also fight against gouty bone damage by improving pathological changes of bone tissue and parameters of bone micro-structure. Moreover, XAN could even promote bone formation by effectively enhancing expression of Runx2 and OPG, while inhibit bone resorption with depressing matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), MMP-13 and CTSK expression, reducing RANKL secretion, and abating the ratio of RANKL/OPG. Therefore, it was the first time to reveal the mechanism of XAN against gouty bone injury via inhibiting RANKL/OPG/RANK signaling pathway. Above all, this study provided potential strategy for the treatment of GA, and further contributed to research and resource development for hops.
